Important Note! You must read this to fully understand my story!

This story will have aspects from both the books and the movies. The story will also not be fully written like the book/movie. I will add stuff, use stuff, and take things out of the original story. The characters look like the actors from the films.

Things you will need to know to follow the story...

*Eric & Four are twenty. Eric and Four still don't get along and Eric is still mean, but not as evil as he was in both the movies and the books. As you will find out, Jeanine is not in my story and I feel like her presence in Eric's life is what made him turn into the person that he was.

*This story takes place during Tris's initiation and the initiates are eighteen. I will be following my own character's life along with Eric's. So to get things straight, Tris and Fours' relationship will be the exact same as it was in the book/movie and they will officially be together/a couple at the end of initiation.

*I don't really want to mess with the other characters (mostly the initiation group) too much. Things from the book/movie are still going to happen like, Edward's eye, and the incident with Peter, Al, Drew, and Tris, and the knife thing. I just won't be focusing on them like it was in the book since my OC might not be in the middle of those incidents.

*The city is just a city. As in, there is no government project controlling the city. After the war, cities were built all over the world to protect the few people that survived. Every city is different and they each have their own way of doing things, but most of them (Chicago, this city) don't know that there are other cities out there.

If anyone has any question regarding anything, PLEASE send me a PM or leave a REVIEW.

Chapter One

Hi, My name is Reyna Pierce and this is my story.

Since the day I was born I have been extremely smart. I remember everything. Everything I see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. And it's not that I just remember everything, it's that I am extremely smart. It's one thing to know that four times two equals eight, but to know why it equals eight. It's one thing to memorize a page out of a text book, but to fully understand the meaning behind what it is that you are memorizing is a completely different thing all together. I was the perfect example of what an Erudite should be.

Thirteen years ago at the age of three, my mother sat me down at our kitchen table and began to tell me that I was brilliant and an extraordinary person. She told me that it was selfish of her to keep me all to herself. She told me that I belonged to the faction and that I would become a very important person one day.

She then brought me to Ms. Jeanine Matthews, who at the time was the apprentice to the leader of Erudite. My mother had then left me there. It was eight years before I saw her again and even then it was just a glimpse of her in the hallway.

Jeanine gave me a room that was connected to a private laboratory. One that only she and a few others were allowed access to. The room was very simple, it had a bed, a nightstand with a lamp on it, a desk, a desk chair, a closet, and a dresser. The walls were painted royal blue, the floor was white, and all of the furniture was white, including the bedding. Connected to the room was a private bathroom.

I stayed in the room ten hours a day, eight pm to six am. After that I spent the entire day in the lab. My time was split between performing experiments, inventing new technology, and sitting in a chair (The chair looks like the chair used for the aptitude test) and watch a screen that shows me an image of every bit of information that the city has. This is how I learn everything. Instead of going through book after book and having to look things up on the computer. It is shown to me on the screen, each image only lasting a second before it goes on to the next one.

I had the same schedule everyday.

6:00 am - Wake up. Shower. Brush teeth. Brush hair. Get dressed.

6:45 am – Eat breakfast. (food was brought to me four times a day, breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner.)

7:00 am – Learn.

9:30 am – Experiment.

11:00 am – Eat lunch.

11:30 am – Inventing.

3:00 pm - Snack break.

3:30 pm – Experiment.

6:30 pm – Eat Dinner.

7:00 pm – Go back to bedroom.

8:00 pm – Sleep.

The schedule is printed out and hangs on the wall in the lab and in my room. Which is weird since I have a perfect memory and had memorized it the moment that it was shown to me.

I did this day in and day out from the age of three to the age of sixteen. The only thing that I changed was that I had learned everything there was to learn, so I started hacking into the cameras all over the city. They were located all around the fence, all throughout the city, and in the Candor, Erudite, and Dauntless factions. To say I knew everything about our city was an understatement.

All throughout this time the only people I was ever in contact with were Jeanine, and three scientists: Mark, Sara, and Elizabeth. All of whom were in their thirties. Jeanine came to check up on me once a week, while the others traded off every day. There was always two of them with me at all times during the day. They weren't mean, but they weren't the nicest people either. They were smart, well put together people who saw me both as a child that needed to be watched after and a work companion that was useful.

When I was sixteen (Eric and Four are doing their initiation right now), I started to notice that Jeanine was becoming somewhat obsessed with coming up with a plan to kill all of the divergents and all of the factionless. She also thought that Erudite should be in control of the city instead of the Abnegation.

I didn't agree with her so I started to come up with a plan to stop her. I spent months working on the plan and when I finished I snuck out of Erudite and headed over to Candor's headquarters and told their leader Jack Kang of what Jeanine's plans were. (The plans I'm referring to are the events that took place at the end of Divergent.)

After I showed him all of the footage that I had put together for him, he called a meeting of all of the faction leaders. Together they put Jeanine and Max on trial for treason and sentenced them both to death. I told them of my ideas of what should happen next and as a group: all of the remaining leaders (Eric is not a leader yet but will be after this meeting) and myself, we came up with a new plan for the city.

*Divergents are not allowed to be killed for what they are. They are treated as equals and I even came up with a way to show what part of them is the strongest (i.e. If their test showed Abnegation, Amity and Candor it would show up at 33% Abnegation, 52% Amity, and 15% Candor) so they better know which faction to choose.

*Every month two leaders from each faction will get together and discuss any changes or concerns about the city and things will be dealt with as a group. Majority rules.

*And finally all of the factionless kids were allowed to go to school and at the age of eighteen, and they would be allowed to choose a faction of their own. This way the number of factionless are kept down a little.

I went back to Erudite and as a faction we elected three leaders this time to lead our faction. This way no one person had all of the control. Our new leaders were Elena Gilbertson, Thomas Hastings, and Amelia Everheart. Elena was our head leader and had the most say in matters, but all big issues were voted on between all three of them.

With the new changes, I was finally free of my room and lab. For the next two years I spent most of my time with the leaders as both an assistant and as a scientist. Apart from the leaders of all of the factions, no one knew that it was I that did all of this. Therefore, I was able to be around other people without them judging me on my actions and decisions that ended up changing the city the way they did.

Now that I told you about my past, it is time I talk about my present.

I am eighteen now and tomorrow is my aptitude test.

Am I Erudite or am I something more?

Yay! I hoped y'all like my first chapter and please leave a review and let me know what y'all think about the story so far. Reyna looks like Jennifer Lawrence with short, dirty blond hair. Here is a link to the picture that I chose as an example...

P.S. I am going to try to update the story every Friday but, if I get enough reviews I might post an extra chapter before then.
